Let me first of all say "Thank You" to all that gave their opinions on my coffee box. I appreciate you all leaving a comment. Well, for all of you that are anxiously awaiting the big reveal...... I decided to go with..... Black. I was trying to think of what I could put in my box and I thought that my pears that I just recently completed would look excellent in there along with a label that I had from Susie @ Yankee Lane Primitives. I just love her labels. Anyway, the box was alot more difficult for me to complete compared to my cheeseboard that I did, but I finally got it done to where I thought I could live with it (lol). I added my spiced pear label to the front, added some homespun that I coffee/tea stained and then neatly placed my pears right in the box. I had to use some tissue paper so the pears would stick up out of the box a little bit, but I thought it turned out great. I am definitely pleased with this project. Go ahead and take a look at the pictures I posted below. Doesn't it look great with the label and the pears? Yep, prim perfect!!

Anne is a follower of my blog and I am a follower of her blog as well and I must say that her store has some real neat things. You can also check out Anne's blog at Seasons of the Past. Anyway, I received my primitive bags in the mail today and they were just what I was hoping for. They are dyed just perfectly and I already found a place for my flour bag. Doesn't it look great with all of my other kitchen needfuls? Oh, lookie there.....another great label. Well, I wanted to show you my new bags that my Mom bought for me (thanks Mom) and now I am off to work on where to place the other 2 bags. Aren't these great bags? Oh - if you are wondering...... yes, I did put some real flour in the bag. I just put a couple cups in two sandwich bags and VOILA it is complete. Check out my other bags below and for a look at some of Anne's other great items be sure to check out her site Humble Hearts and Homes.

Lisa,I love how your coffee box turned out. You did a fantastic job on it and the pears just make it perfect. I'll have to sew up some pears & try that if you don't mind. Have a great evening. I emailed you by the way.Pam

I scrolled down first to your other posts and left a comment, not even realizing that was the same box and I see that you painted it black, which was what I could picture! It turned out so prim! I love everything about it! And I love those bags from Anne..and the labels! Gosh, everything is so prim...I just love it all! Great job!

It's Me

I am a Christian, daughter, sister, wife, and a very proud Mommy to a beautiful little boy that was conceived through IVF. My husband and I have been married for over 7 years and truly enjoy every single day that we have with our little miracle. After a loss in 2004 and many years of infertility treatments we were finally blessed with our son in 2007. He is indeed a precious gift from God and we are so very blessed to have him in our lives.
During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, thrift store shopping, making primitive signs & gameboards and re-finishing items with great prim potential.
